Kyle Busch ignited a multi-car wreck when he spun in the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet seven laps into Sunday’s Viva Mexico 250 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
After Busch’s car snapped around while braking on entrance into Turn 1, he slammed into the back end of Justin Haley’s No. 7 Chevrolet, then made hard contact with Kyle Larson’s No. 5 Chevrolet and AJ Allmendinger’s No. 16 Chevrolet. Chase Briscoe, in the No. 19 Toyota, and Zane Smith, in the No. 38 Ford, were also involved.

Busch and Larson headed to the garage for repairs while Haley, Allmendinger, Smith and Briscoe all went to the pits for repairs as well.
Haley, Allmendinger, Smith and Briscoe all stayed in the race, as did Larson, who returned late in Stage 2. However, Busch ultimately couldn’t continue and was scored in 37th (last) place. Busch was evaluated and released from the infield care center.
NASCAR declared damp conditions and threw a caution after Lap 1 to give teams the option of putting on wet-weather tires. All cars came to pit road to change tires except for two: the No. 17 Ford of Chris Buescher and the No. 2 Ford of Austin Cindric.
